HPE P36921-B21 Intel Xeon Silver 4310 12-Core CPU
Overview
The HPE P36921-B21 is an Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processor, a key component for building or upgrading HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus servers. This processor is engineered for enterprise data centers and hybrid cloud environments requiring a solid foundation for virtualization, web infrastructure, and software-defined storage. It addresses the need for balanced performance, providing substantial multi-threaded capabilities within an efficient power envelope, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of mainstream workloads. At its core, this 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor leverages a 10nm architecture to deliver 12 cores and 24 threads of processing power. A significant operational benefit comes from its support for the PCIe Gen4 interface. This technology provides double the I/O bandwidth of the previous generation, directly translating to faster data access and improved performance when paired with high-speed NVMe storage devices and 100+ GbE network adapters, effectively removing critical system bottlenecks. Designed as a component for server integration, the Intel Xeon Silver 4310 is installed into the FCLGA4189 socket on compatible HPE ProLiant motherboards, such as those in the DL380 Gen10 Plus series. Its 120-watt Thermal Design Power (TDP) allows it to be deployed in standard air-cooled server chassis without requiring specialized liquid cooling infrastructure. Management of the processor’s health, power, and performance is seamlessly integrated into the server’s native platform management, such as HPE iLO.
